Super Eagles forward, Henry Onyekuru may leave premier league side Everton without kicking a ball for the club as Serie A giants Juventus and La Liga side, Atletico Madrid are keen to snap him up for £15m (N7billion), according to DailyMail.
The Toffees signed the 20-year-old Nigerian in a £7million deal from KAS Eupen last summer but had to send him out on loan to Belgium club Anderlecht because of work permit issues.
Onyekuru has since been banging in goals, scoring six times in his last five games and caught the attention of both Juventus and Atletico with a brilliant performance against Paris Saint German in the UEFA Champions League where he destroyed Brazilian defender Dani Alves before hitting the woodwork.
Anderlecht went on to lose 4-0 but the on loan Everton star did enough to make Diego Simeone consider him as a potential long time replacement for Fernando Torres at Atletico while the Old Lady are desperate to add a forward player after missing out on Senegal international Keita Balde to AS Monaco.
Everton lost 5-2 to Arsenal Sunday in the premier league and their topscorer is Wayne Rooney with four goals, two less than Onyekuru.
